In the organizer's words:

During the Christmas season, the Epiphany Church in Berlin is showing an impressive exhibition that brings light into the dark season: "Dreams of my childhood" by artist Elzbieta Latacz.

With her large-format, expressive works full of luminosity and emotion, the artist explores the theme of dreams, especially the dreams of our childhood that we have now buried deep inside us. The aim is not only to create an aesthetic experience with impressive and technically sophisticated abstract paintings, but also to take the viewer on a gentle journey to themselves.

The artist asks us: "What dream have you forgotten?". She has interviewed numerous people for her works and collected their unfulfilled dreams. This resulted in paintings with titles such as "Swimming to freedom", "The whisper of dreams" or "Ice cream - a night in the ice cream parlor", which tell of universal themes and deep desires such as freedom, love and willpower.

Elzbieta Latacz's painting does not refer to an external reality, but evokes an inner one: it reminds us of the creative energy that resides in each of us, of the possibility of realizing visions. She finds this long-forgotten power to believe in one's own abilities in childhood dreams. As an artist, she wants to activate something in people that can then flow into the "Manifesto of Wishes" in the form of anonymous and voluntary participation. This emerges from the show as an individual, participatory work and at the same time helps everyone to manifest their own dormant power.

In the solemn atmosphere of the Epiphany Church, the bright colors of the paintings unfold their full effect. They stand in deliberate contrast to the serious architecture of the church and expand the interior from a place of religious devotion to a space for the senses and knowledge that will touch you personally and painterly.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a literary contribution - the painter and writer Monika Heintze will talk about her childhood dreams with a short reading from her new novel "Everything must be hidden".

The musical backdrop to the vernissage will be enriched by beautiful piano music and Anna Lusikov on the grand piano.
